Minor positions to play for:

Titans: Will finish 2nd by beating Warriors. Should they fail to do this, and there is a result in the Cobras v Dolphins game, they will finish 3rd.

Cobras: Can finish 2nd if they beat Dolphins and Titans fail to win. If Titans win, and Cobras beat Dolphins or draw, they will finish 3rd. If they lose to Dolphins, they will finish 4th.

Dolphins: Can also finish 2nd if they beat Cobras and Titans fail to win. If both Titans and Dolphins win, Dolphins will finish 3rd. A draw or loss will result in Dolphins finishing 4th.

Lions: As their match is over, they are no longer in control of their final placement. Currently in 5th, but will finish last if Warriors beat Titans.

Warriors: Will finish last, unless they beat Titans, in which case they will finish 5th.

Congratulations to the Knights! Defending the title is going to be a challenge with de Bruyn and Olivier likely away on national duty.
